Wikipedia:Spotting possible copyright violations

This is a guide to spotting violations of the Wikipedia copyright policy that are simple copy-and-pastes from other websites. Please remember to assume good faith when doing the important work of keeping Wikipedia compliant with CC BY-SA and, where co-licensed, GFDL. It's important to keep in mind as well that what appears to be copied content may not be a copyright issue in some cases - for example, when Wikipedia had the content first or when the content is public domain or compatibly licensed.
